Hahaha. Thanks brother. Ya I though I'd put the old designs through some testing. I actually got this car up to like 70mph after I turned it into somewhat of a speed run car. I have a video here showing it doing a speed run.
Looks like I just saw the best RC action on TH-cam. Love that backflips especially when it lands perfectly. Top Force is my favorite, both RC and Mini 4wd.
@@philthyco1 Yeah I watched most of your Top Force vids...good stuff brother. Yeah I was going to leave the fan but it stuck out a bit. Should have left it....lol. I will probably put an 80amp esc in it later...I did a speed run and got 53mph on 3s. hahaha.
@@philthyco1 Yeah stock gearing. 5900kv motor on 3s. I have a video of my TT02b Dual Ridge doing 52mph. I actually did the speed run first before the bash. If you notice I have a gps strapped to the front at the start of my video. Problem is I used a new camera(DJI Osmo Pocket) and I held the camera up close to show the speed but it didnt focus and was blurry. So I need to re do the speed run.
Thanks brother. I wasn't going to bash her like this but I did a few jumps and the 3s inspired me...hahaha. These were definitely not meant to backflip, being released in 1991. Tougher than I thought it would be. Now..the skatepark with backflips and jumps would just finish her off.😂
Yeah it a cool looking buggy for sure. I kinda beat on it here and then I did speed runs and got it to 71Mph. But it's been retired to light duty now with a few war stories to tell the other cars on my shelf...lol. Nothing broke either which was surprising. Tougher than I thought it was. I hope they do another run of these in the future to grab one more.
Hi, sorry not sure if I asked question in correct comment / thread. Superb videos 👏👏 just wondered which spur / pinion combo (or ratio) you’ve been using for Top Force bashing and speed runs? 😊
I'm using robinson racing spur and pinions with the Tamiya high speed gear set/adapter...52 spur and 45 pinion will get you 90mph. You just need to dremel the gear cover so the pinion fits. Any more questions feel free to ask. I like helping guys go faster if I can.
Hey Oliver. It's a Castle 7700kv 3650 sized motor. I bought it off Ebay from China so although it came in a Castle box and all I think it may be fake but I'm not sure. It's a good motor either way...Castle is made in China too. Thanks for the sub brother. I got you back. 👊😀🍺🍺
I did a top speed run and got 53mph. The problem is I used a new camera(DJI Osmo pocket) and when I held it to the gps it was blurry. So I need to do it over.
@@stephenmundey2907 Thanks Stephen. For the Top Force the gears are totally stock...I forget the spur(I think 66T and pinion size 21T) just what comes with the kit. Other than the esc, battery and tires that's it...lol.
KaizerTest RC That’s what I hoped you would say, a straight forward answer to a gear ratio question at last! Very much appreciated, keep the videos going 😊
@@KaizerTest you know you're probably new parts you can replace if you break it on that buggy. you should play with the hotshot all the time because you can get parts from the re-release so you won't have to worry about keeping it in good condition cuz you can replace what you break.
@@bradkalman2353 Yeah... I know parts are hard to come by for the Top Force. I have another in a box still but at the most will build it as a shelf queen....I don't have many shelf queens. I need a few..lol. As for parts I have a boat load for the boomerang and Hotshot already. Maybe I will pick up another hotshot and bash the one I have already built. I try not to destroy my Tamiya cars...that's what my Arrmas are for but for the sake of TH-cam entertainment I have some that are expendable and will push to the limits in the name of durability testing and science...lol.
My son is a ghost busters nut also.
Love it.
🍻😀
What a good video! Nobody drives their Tamiyas like this on yt. The Top Force is a top 3 for me. The Optima Mid, Losi XX4 and Tamiya Top Force!!
Hahaha. Thanks brother. Ya I though I'd put the old designs through some testing. I actually got this car up to like 70mph after I turned it into somewhat of a speed run car. I have a video here showing it doing a speed run.
it is the best looking rc car ever! it it so cool and 1991! love it... its the Ferrari F40 of rc cars
Yeah it's a fun car. Much tougher than I expected too.
The angle on that wing geez must make that front end light as heck with all the down force
Did the same conversion with 2s.
Its enough power 😂.
Looks like I just saw the best RC action on TH-cam. Love that backflips especially when it lands perfectly. Top Force is my favorite, both RC and Mini 4wd.
Its an awesome RC car for sure! I really thought it would be less durable than it is. Nothing broke and I crashed it abunch of times really hard.
That backflip was awesome, I can’t believe you landed on the wheels.
Thanks brother. 😀 It was easier to backflip this car than I thought it would be....hahaha
Top Force is one of my favorites of all time
You don't have to take the fan off ESC..Watch my videos on it
@@philthyco1 Yeah I watched most of your Top Force vids...good stuff brother. Yeah I was going to leave the fan but it stuck out a bit. Should have left it....lol. I will probably put an 80amp esc in it later...I did a speed run and got 53mph on 3s. hahaha.
She's tougher than I thought she would be. One of my favorites as well...I only hope the ball diffs hold up to my abuse...lol.
@@KaizerTest Nice speed! Are you running stock gearing? The diffs will hold up well just check them after every few runs and tune/adjust if necessary.
@@philthyco1 Yeah stock gearing. 5900kv motor on 3s. I have a video of my TT02b Dual Ridge doing 52mph. I actually did the speed run first before the bash.

It really is FORMIDABLE! I love Tamiya!
Me too! It took a lot of abuse and didn't break.
💪😀
Nice backflips impressive 👌

5900kv on 3S is nuts!! That's over 70,000 rpms!!
Ya it held up ok. Prob lose a lot of torque but it ripped pretty well. Nothing fried.
That's! Rc car from Tamiya it's fast nice. Bat Nitro it's more like.
That wing looks great, but it's basically a Design flaw at the Same time :-)
Yeah it a cool looking buggy for sure. I kinda beat on it here and then I did speed runs and got it to 71Mph.

@@KaizerTest I just picked up a pair of these for 126Euros a piece. Pennies really for such a great kit!
As a kid I wanted a top force but ended up buying a second hand manta ray and I bought hop up options.
Nice! I love the Manta Ray as well. Great car.
👍
Thanks for watching my friend.😃
Amazing.... Watch my tamiyA collection
@@homeworkpictureshq Ok will do. Thanks for the sub...I got you back. 👍

Please 80's soongg?????
It's not an 80's song actually. Just a new song for video's in the 80's style.
Are you going to get the top four Evo to ?
Top Force Evo? I cant find any near me....I would though. I still have a Top Force new in the box.
@@KaizerTest you can change that into an EVO just got to find what parts make it an EVO watch RC kicks and timaya legends for those changes.
What is the top speed?
I did a top speed run and got 53mph. The problem is I used a new camera(DJI Osmo pocket) and when I held it to the gps it was blurry. So I need to do it over.
Got 66Mph today. I switched the motor to 7700kv...lol. Video later tonight or tomorrow.
KaizerTest RC Hi, great videos! Which spur / pinion size did you use for your speed runs

Please no shelf queens.
So far I dont have any...lol. I have a Hot Shot I only ran once though.
@@KaizerTest HotShots an awesome car I would you run that all the time.
@@bradkalman2353 Yeah I should run it again. The Hotshot was my 3rd Tamiya...got it back in 1985 or 1986 so I want to keep this car in good shape.
